The following code is from Workbench for Paradox and it adds Workbench as a menu option to the Tools menu. For clarity, I simplified the routine a bit. When I have time I'll come back and add comments. In the meantime, if you have questions, contact me.

The next time you run Paradox, select Tools | Workbench to open Workbench.") endIfendmethod

Manually Adding Menu Item's to Paradox

You can use the code above to add menu items to Paradox or manually by altering the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\COREL\PARADOX\9.0\PXDLITE

You can add menu commands to the following menus:

File

Tools

Help

File | Open (Use "Open" key name.)

File | New (Use "New" key name.)

Inside a key, you place values corresponding to the menu command you want to add. To add a keyboard shortcut, precede the letter with an ampsersand. Precede the menu's value with an integer value (starting with 0) followed by a comma to specify a particular order for your menu item. The filename can be any Paradox form or script (delivered or not) as well as a program file (.EXE, .COM, .BAT, and .PIF), or .DLL. All other filenames are ignored.
